One rainy day, I was put up to auction in a small town. There were some people who were trying to make a successful bid of me. I remember that I had very strange feeling on a stand and felt full of anxiety about my future. After hot keen competition I was bought by a master. The master told me that he was from Chicago and own a cotton farm. He also told me that I should not worry much about life on his plantation, because the master own 99 slaves at his cotton farm, and he treats them right. He also built some big lodging houses for slaves where are clean and furnished. My master sounded like a real rich man. Then, I was taken to his farm.
In the next morning assembly I was introduced to those slaves of the farm. Immediately, we started to work master's morning speech. I was assigned a job to crop cottons and to take their seeds away. Then, We all went to a vast cotton farm and started working. Things were not that hard than I thought. I got used to my job after couple of days, but I never satisfied with the boring job. We have much more days-off and good treatment than other farms' slave workers at our cotton farm. Since this place is running in a good shape and make a good profit. Nothing would matter seriou
Slaves fought with passion for their freedom, so that they did not care much about having a strong desire to change the society or defeating all enemies. What they most care was to get their freedom " die or freedom". Slaves knew earlier freedom fighters such as Baukman Dutty, who started the Haitian Revolution. They learned from those people such as Toussaint L'Overture, a military genius who helped to win the Haitian Revolution. They followed people such as Charles Deslondes, a principal leader in the 1811 Slave Revolt. So, despite the fact that many of them never get freedom on hand, slaves had been encouraged to fight by these heroes. They fight to show their soul resistance whether dies or not. Therefore, "Act of Resistance" is deeply in Slave culture.
